"I voted in favour of the report on the EU budget for 2013, considering it important to return the level of payments in next year’s budget to that suggested by the European Commission. As the EU has yet to overcome the economic crisis, the paralysing effect of the social crisis continues. Since a large number of Member States still suffer from a high rate of unemployment, it is essential to restore in the EU budget the means – EUR 1.9 billion – for promoting economic growth and employment. In a situation where the EU has greater commitments, that is to say, expenses, we cannot simply make cuts which subsequently create large budget gaps which must be ‘remedied’ in the future. It is regrettable that the cuts jeopardise useful programmes like Erasmus Mundus, Lifelong Learning and the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme for Research. These are vital for enabling us to emerge from the economic crisis stronger than before. However, I do support the administrative expenses cuts and use of the released resources to implement important programmes."@en1
